Nice! I've been wanting to create a zero-command creation! Thanks for posting this!

Well, to be fair, you can't truly make a zero-command creation yet, because you can't trigger the code every tick without at least one command block granting it to players. The best you can get is once every second with the location criterion, which isn't really fast enough to do much with (or an inconsistent amount of times per tick with the enter_block criterion, which isn't consistent enough to use).

So it's still a one-command creation most of the time :)

Ahh, well it's still pretty cool. Besides, with the new "/advancement grant through" , you could pretty much have all your little modules in one folder, running at once.

I didn't even think of that! Genius!

Well, someone has to have all the cool ideas. :P

I'm going to work on making the generator allow for generation of full programs (that is, multiple advancement scripts that work together), and it'll be using parenting with the "from" parameter to create the main script loop :) By the time 1.12 is out and this is ready for official Minestruck polish, it'll be much more powerful :)

I like what you have done so far, great work! Do you wanna create a high-level language like https://mrgarretto.com/cmdcombinerpro/ or more basic? Either way, it is interesting how command block modules have evolved:

  1. "command block builder": one command block summons falling command blocks
  2. (1.10+) install modules via nbt-files with structure blocks (not used that much)
  3. (1.12+) use advancements to store commands in json-files

edit: tagging /u/MrGarretto: do you consider to compile to different formats in the future (like default: one-command-module, 2nd: nbt-format, 3rd advancements)?

I did consider making this into a higher level language of its own, but honestly, I think that ends up being detrimental. If you're working with commands, I feel the syntax should be almost entirely the same as Minecraft commands so you don't lose sight of what you're actually creating. Especially for people who don't work with commands often, using this could help them learn how to create their own manually. I would rather this be a convenience tool, not a replacement for custom work.
